We got hold of the original source code written in C with some x86 assembler. We need to rewrite these in a portable C++ and add support both Missions in one engine. If possible, a translation of the game texts into English, or developing tools for performing such translation could be a great advantage. | We got hold of the original source code written in C with some x86 assembler.

[https://opensludge.github.io/ SLUDGE] is an engine and adventure game development environment, developed by Hungry Software, and open sourced in 2008. It has number of games created with it. The goal of this project is to port the Engine to ScummVM, so games, made with SLUDGE, could be run. | |||

One option for solving this would be to create a backend for OS X that doesn't use SDL. This would mean writing/porting replacement code for the parts where SDL currently handles things (i.e. at least audio, video and input, and ideally other details too). Preferably, such a project would be to retain backwards compatibility with 10.2 as we have today, while also allowing for a good user experience on the very latest OS X versions. | One option for solving this would be to create a backend for OS X that doesn't use SDL.

Examples are: Linux packages, Google Play, Apple App Store, Steam, ForgeTV store, and anything beyond that. | Examples are: Linux packages, Google Play, Apple App Store, Steam, ForgeTV store, and anything beyond that. | ||
=== Support for shaders and arbitrary scalers === | |||

Difficulty: Medium | |||
ScummVM uses software scalers for graphics enhancements. In 2012 we were running GSoC for turning them into plugins. [https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/271 That work] needs to be completed, basically, it is just rebasing of the patch. The rebasing was started here: https://github.com/digitall/scummvm/tree/gsoc2012-scalers-cont | |||
Modern systems often have OpenGL with shader support. RetroArch project shaders are standard for them in open source gaming. LordHoto started work on adding support for those to ScummVM. His unfinished work could be found here: https://github.com/lordhoto/scummvm/tree/libretro-shader | |||
We need to add both improvements to our scaler system. Recent PSP2 port already adds some basics for scalers, particularly in GUI, so that could be reused too. | |||
We need to have it tested on desktops and at least Android, but preferably also Windows and iOS. | |||
